While i want to agree with you, i can't actually think of too many examples 
for this.

For a long time there has been a PayPal button on the frontpage, but there 
were almost no donations, so i don't believe this works. What i find 
fascinating about Gittip is the sustainability aspect, you give less, but 
regularly. You just need a few hundred people that join with $2, and 
suddenly the community employs someone full time. Add a few companies that 
can pay more to the mix and it's even easier. :)
